Investigating the Deformation and Failure Mechanism of a Submarine Tunnel with Flexible Joints Subjected to Strike-Slip Faults

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Knowledge from historical earthquake events indicates that a submarine tunnel crossing active strike-slip faults is prone to be damaged in an earthquake. Previous studies have demonstrated that the flexible joints are an effective measure for a submarine

Large Surface‐Rupture Gaps and Low Surface Fault Slip of the 2021 Mw 7.4 Maduo Earthquake Along a Low‐Activity Strike‐Slip Fault, Tibetan Plateau

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
Based on field investigations, interpretations of high‐resolution UAV images, and analyses of available InSAR data, we mapped the fault geometry and surface ruptures of the 2021 Mw 7.4 Maduo earthquake that occurred on a low‐activity strike‐slip fault ...

Equal spacing of strike-slip faults [PDF]

International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts, 1976
Summary Strike-slip fault systems on continents frequently occur in groups of several roughly equally-spaced faults. In this article these systems are simulated by a model. A physical mechanism is then presented, which appears to explain the phenomena shown by the model both qualitatively and to a certain extent quantitatively.

The characteristics of strike-slip faults and their control on hydrocarbon distribution in deep carbonate reservoirs of the central Sichuan Basin

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The past decade has witnessed a breakthrough in the gas exploration of deep marine carbonates of the central Sichuan Basin. Deep faults research has also attracted increasing attention, as faulting plays an important role in reservoir control.

The Advances and Challenges of the Ediacaran Fractured Reservoir Development in the Central Sichuan Basin, China

Energies, 2022
The largest Precambrian gasfield in China has been found in the central Sichuan Basin. It has been assumed as an Ediacaran (Sinian) mound–shoal, microfacies-controlled, dolomite reservoir.

Study on the relationship between multi-stage strike-slip mechanism and basin evolution in Fangzheng fault depression

Earth Sciences Research Journal, 2018
Fangzheng fault depression is controlled by the northern of the Tan-Lu fault zone. It undergoes multi-stage strike-slip, extrusion modification, and erosion of the thermal uplift, forming a tectonic pattern of uplifts connected with sags.

Control of strike-slip faults on Sinian carbonate reservoirs in Anyue gasfield, Sichuan Basin, SW China

Petroleum Exploration and Development, 2023
The largest Precambrian gas field (Anyue Gasfield) in China has been discovered in the central Sichuan Basin. However, the deep ancient Ediacaran dolomite presents a substantial challenge due to their tightness and heterogeneity, rather than assumed ...

The Fault Effects on the Oil Migration in the Ultra-Deep Fuman Oilfield of the Tarim Basin, NW China

Energies, 2022
A giant, ultra-deep (>7000 m) strike-slip fault-related oilfield has been found in the central depression of the Tarim Basin. However, little research has addressed this discovery to understand the fault effects on the oil migration, which constrains the

Estimation of displacements along strike-slip fault on a million-year timescale: A case study of the AltynTagh fault system

Dizhi lixue xuebao, 2021
Fault slip rate matters not only as one of the important parameters for quantitative study of Cenozoic tectonics but also a key element in geodynamic research.

Role of two-stage strike slip faulting in the tectonic evolution of the Doseo depression in the central Africa rift system

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Doseo depression of Central African Rift System is an important onshore frontier area for oil and gas exploration in Africa, with rift development characterized by the dual control of fault-depression development and strike slip faulting.
